Intern Abroad HQ Reviews 

I loved my experience in Cape Town. Intern Abroad HQ never made me feel uncertain about what I could expect and I know there was always someone I could reach out to with any questions/ if anything came up. This doesn't only include the time pre-departure, but also in country, as well as afterwards. I always felt like I was prepared well and had everything I needed to have the best experience. The local team was also great and really helped Everyone to feel comfortable and supported. I would recommend Intern Abroad HQ/ Masambeni over and over again for this incredible opportunity that definitely changed my perspective on the world, be more informed and understanding of other people, their culture as well as their history. Anyone interested in a program like this should definitely be open-minded. Inform yourself about the place you're wanting to experience beforehand and know that there will be challenges, but none that you cannot overcome. There's a lot of support available and a good common sense will already serve you so well!

I worked at a legal internship in NYC and it was the most amazing time. I stayed in a studio apartment by myself in West Harlem in a very homey neighborhood, and was even allowed to bring my emotional support cat! Marc was incredibly helpful in organizing everything for me and finding me an internship and housing they were perfect. The internship itself was amazing! It was exactly what I was hoping for! I got real experience working directly with an attorney and was able to do work on meaningful projects that affected individual’s lives. Could not recommend enough!

It was very educational. I learned the relevant concepts to international law and climate change in depth before I helped out my coordinator with his project, which was very beneficial since I had a deep understanding. Overall it was a great experience that will help me greatly moving forward.

They were very organized and so helpful! I felt very safe the entire time and was accommodated for all my needs on my first solo travel!

My experience with Intern Abroad in Córdoba was an amazing cultural and developmental experience! Carlos, Yuyin, Charly, and Tita are an incredible team and clearly had our best interests at heart. My Spanish improved dramatically, and I made really genuine connections with fellow interns and Cordobeses almost without trying. I'd highly recommend pursuing this program for your internship!

Good informesan

I am very satisfied with my experience with Intern Abroad HQ. It was everything I was looking for in an international internship program. I believe Intern Abroad HQ and my local team worked very well together to create a streamlined experience. With Intern Abroad, I felt very comfortable with all the logistics leading up to my start date. Questions and concerns were always addressed with kindness and detail (Shoutout to Program Manager, Sarah who was super helpful and responsive either by email or setting up a call). The active checklist guide on my online portal was very helpful in keeping me on track for everything I needed to get done before my start date. Once I got to Valencia, my local team handled everything with care and professionalism. The arranged excursions were fun and provided opportunities to meet more people. The only thing I would have liked to have was a better idea of my placement schedule beforehand. This is pretty specific to the fact that I interned in August, which I knew is a slower work time of the year in Spain, but I still went as this was the only time that fit my schedule. Knowing this, I wish the local team coordinated with my placement to see what the schedule/workload is, and accommodate accordingly. I didn’t need details down to the hour, but a general idea of my daily/weekly schedule. With that being said, I did bring this to their attention in Valencia and they were very open to having this conversation. I always felt that I could voice my concerns and they were met with understanding and willingness to adapt. It all worked out in the end and I honestly have no complaints. This was a wonderful experience and if I am ever looking for another international internship, I know who to contact. Other big aspects like social and host family I could write an essay on how great it was, but just know it exceeded my expectations. I've made bonds with new friends all around the world and was immersed into a culture like never before. The quality time spent outside of work with other interns are memories I'll cherish forever. Thank you so much to the Intern Abroad HQ team and my local team. I have had the experience of a lifetime!!

What I enjoyed most about the remote Clinical Psychology internship was how it became a meaningful part of my weekly routine. Every Saturday morning, watching the sunrise and joining the sessions provided both mental stimulation and a sense of purpose. The structure—from introductions to ongoing check-ins and the final review—made learning feel natural and engaging. The content was extremely useful, generously shared, and covered updated and practical topics applicable to future work in psychology. I learned to integrate knowledge into practice, consider multiple perspectives, respect cultural differences, and work effectively with patients as well as their families or support systems. The internship strengthened my professionalism, empathy, confidentiality, organisational skills, problem-solving abilities, and adaptability, contributing significantly to my personal and professional growth. What made this experience truly exceptional was my supervisor. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented but also genuinely passionate about teaching and supporting her students. Her positive attitude, warmth, and encouragement created a judgment-free environment where I always felt comfortable asking questions and exploring new ideas. My supervisor challenged my inner blockages, inspired me to push beyond my limits, and made learning enjoyable even during intense or serious work. Over time, I came to see her as both a mentor and a friend, whose guidance and energy profoundly shaped my growth and deepened my passion for psychology.

From the very beginning, the agency was helpful, promptly answered all my questions, and was open to assisting me in every way. Upon arriving in Córdoba, I appreciated their cooperation with several local agencies, such as ONIX Intercambio Cultural, which improved our understanding of cultural adaptation, enhanced our language skills in both colloquial and professional vocabulary, and were also willing to accommodate our requests regarding medical internships—for example, our preferences for specialties and even rotations. I will definitely recommend this agency to all my acquaintances.

This company provided a full seamless package that included the internship placement and the accommodation in the host country. They had a variety of internship opportunities and the accommodation itself was homely and people that stayed there were friendly. The hosts gave good recommendations of where to go, where to buy food etc and the communication was very easy (through an app). The internship placement was also what I had applied for and it allowed a hybrid flexibility which was great because I got to explore the host country too as a result. They provided airport pick-up service and had many facilities within the accommodation. Great internship + housing!

Ability to reach and communicate with staff members throughout my entire process was remarkable. I always had a source of support and reassurance, could not be more satisfied.

Everyone was very understanding and it was fun to be able to work with my supervisor.

I had a great experience in my remote internship coordinated by Intern Abroad HQ. I was able to intern under a human rights organization in Tanzania, where I learned a lot about how the organization works, as well as about how they carry out and execute their strategies, by learning from people in various departments. It was a special opportunity to have worked with people who do work I am inspired by, and I also got valuable insights from exposure to international and cultural differences that directly influenced the problems they worked to resolve.

During my time while working with the intern abroad HQ I received excellent directions and received great hands-on experience with furthering my career in cyber security! I would definitely recommend Intern Abroad to anyone looking to get great experience and work one on with an experienced expert.

This past summer I had the amazing opportunity to intern in Athens, Greece. During my internship, I worked with patients in a gym/clinic setting, shadowed surgeries, and worked one on one in an inpatient setting.

I worked alongside the head Physical Therapist to help assist patients in their bed to increase strength and better their range of motion. Whether it was recovering from a knee replacement surgery or a cancer patient learning how to walk again, each case was very unique in its own ways. This was a very eye opening experience for me working with these patients and making sure they get to where they need to be.

During my time in the hospital, my understanding and knowledge of the importance of inpatient physical therapists grew exponentially. I also had the honor of scrubbing in for a surgery and assisting the doctor in successfully operating an ulnar nerve decompression.

I am extremely thankful for the opportunity given to me by Intern Abroad HQ and I look forward to applying what I learned in future settings"

My time in Córdoba changed me profoundly. Not only did I improve my Spanish, but I learned to adapt and thrive in a new culture, to understand the value of human relationships in the context of medicine, and to question the assumptions I had about what it means to be a professional. I saw how interpersonal relationships enrich medical care and create a more holistic form of care. The local team were also so amazing, and they made the whole program run so seamlessly. They were so attentive and caring, and taught us everything we needed to know about living in a new country. Overall, it was an incredible experience!

I interned with IAHQ after having just earned my degree in international relations and was eagerly looking for my first role post-college. Having several study abroad experiences already, I set my sights on positions outside the US. That's where IAHQ came in. I felt like IAHQ met me with the same enthusiasm and hope I had as a fresh graduate. We worked together to figure out my strengths and see where I could be a fit for their partnerships in South America. I was matched with a marketing internship in Cusco, Peru. Dallas was my program manager. She was available at what felt like all hours of the day/night for every question I could think of! I felt so prepared boarding my flight to Peru and even as I settled in, I knew Dallas and the whole team at IAHQ were behind me. To say the internship changed my life would be an understatement. I worked on translating my placement's website, taught adult English classes, worked the field assisting in home nutrition visits, and even got to help in their pastry program. It was through my work as an intern that I found a full-time job to stay in Cusco! I became a coordinator for a tourism agency there and stayed for about two more years. Intern Abroad HQ will set you up for success, help you forge lasting friendships and professional connections, and cheer you on every step of the way! If you are at all curious about working outside your country and boosting your resume, you can reach out with confidence!

I completed an online internship based in India focused on developmental psychology. My role involved watching recorded sessions and writing analytical reports, which strengthened my observation and report-writing skills. Communication was quick and efficient, though there was limited direct interaction with clients, which could be improved.

So, alot was expected. I signed up about a year ago, originally to go to South Africa for the Marine Biology and Reef Conservation. I was advised to try Costa Rica because of the travel scares of traveling as a female. When I signed up, my program manager, Dallas, had every single thing laid out for the smoothest process possible. I signed up for every excursion, added a week to obtain my dive certification and received college credit towards grad school. During my time there, my hostess, Maria was amazing and cooked some of the best dishes. She took all of my food allergies into account and kept me safe. It definitely helps to become familiar with the language of your visiting country. Every morning around 7am, I walked to the dive shop where we would go out for a.m. and p.m. dives. You become part of the community as you frequent the street and wave back at the ladies having their morning tea on their balconies. I felt safe.

Your training is with some of the best PADI Dive certified trainers in the country. You'll be back in time for classes and socializing with your housemates after a long day and just in time for dinner. My weekends were filled with thrift shopping, market food and latin dancing. It goes so quick! I encourage you to immerse yourself in the culture, the language and the people. My housemates and I are now friends for life and future dive partners.

Seven weeks was perfect for me. I was ready to see my family. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go to Samos, Greece next year with your new program. But after seeing InternAbroads thoroughness in helping me with travel and transportation arrangements, I'm doubling back on South Africa for sure. My grad school schedule only allows me four weeks of vacation per year cause were year-round...so know that this is not the last you have seen of me InternAbroad HQ!😁 See ya soon. Rachel

As a university student looking for an internship that would really make an impact, I’m so glad I found Intern Abroad HQ. From the start, their team was so helpful and made everything easy to understand and showed me the right steps to follow which took a lot of stress off my shoulders.

The internship gave me the chance to understand how building on skills that I've learnt can be used in real world application. It also helped me grow personally because I got to live in a completely unique location and experience a culture that’s different from my own.

What I appreciated most was how supported I felt the whole time as it made me comfortable to make the most of the experience. If you’re a student wanting to build useful skills and have an amazing experience abroad, I definitely recommend Intern Abroad HQ.
